ABC's of pro rasslin'

El Desperado would wreck all of those dorks with his lucha inspired style.

196 pounds ain't wrecking anyone slick.
 
Evan simply didn't do enough to belong on my list, not true of Ed Lewis an all time great.
I disagree with you here. Ed Lewis, just like fucking Toots Mondt were both a cancer to the wrestling industry in my opinion. The entire Gold Dust Trio and their shit style were an embarrassment and them being influential is a negative thing.

Who cares, this is pro rasslin'

Ed Lewis was one of the first big draws while Evan was a nobody.
 
Rickson Gracie weighed 185 and he'd stretch Edouard Carpentier and have him tapping for his life.

Put Rickson Gracie in a pro rasslin' ring with pro rasslin' rules meaning no rules and Carpentier would beat Gracie to a pulp.

Pro rasslin' has too many rules. Refs always in people's business. In Carpentier's day, they acted like a closed fist was an absolute sin.

Rickson would shatter that Frenchie dork's leg before he even knew the fight started.

Showing yourself to be a confirmed casual again.

Dude, Carpentier was a 230 pound athlete, an acrobat and far stronger than Gracie. Yes with MMA rules I get what Gracie can do, but like I said no rules which is actually the pro game. Carpentier could kick the shit out of Gracie, totally overwelm him.

Stop with this stupid "casual" thing ok. been into this stuff since 1958ish, ok rookie?

Talk to me about Robear Duranton, Samson Burke, Ox Anderson, Art "Boom Boom" Mahalik, oh yeah....ya can't.
 
Go ahead sing his praises, tell me why he should be the most important E, go ahead.

Here is where ya ....ok man Ed Lewis it is.
You mean apart from being undoubtedly the greatest heel of the 19th century after the Matsuda Sorakichi incident, innovating the stranglehold, being the first unified American Heavyweight Champion and holding the title for 8 years? Ed was a bum who stole his name and lost the title after a month.

Evan Lewis is arguably the greatest wrestler of the 19th century next to only William Muldoon himself.

Better than George Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch, really?
 
During the 19th century? Yeah, easily. If you take timeframes completely out of the equation i'd say Gotch > Lewis > Hackenschmidt.

Evan Lewis simply isn't on the same level as Ed Lewis, simply how it is.

Here ya go....

During his wrestling career, which spanned four decades, Lewis was a four-time World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion and overall recognised officially as a five-time world champion.

This guy just copied the first line of wikipedia to make his argument.

What a casual.

What disturbs me most about this statement is less that you don't seem to think very highly of Evan Lewis but rather that you apparently consider Ed Lewis an all-time great.
